No more chasing Nazi spies! That's the good news in this sixth film in the Rathbone-Bruce series, from 1943. This one, very loosely based on "The Musgrave Ritual", finds Holmes and Watson in a spooky old convalescent home, facing such weird elements as a human chessboard and clock striking 13.
The posters show an interesting progression. The title card (above) features the original photographs of the main players. For the 1-sheet (below) those same photos were enhances with paint. And on the much larger 3-sheet (bottom), even more painterly effects are employed.

Hey Dave - have you seen the Sherlock Holmes movie yet? Just curious.
Ultimate internet store - Hello you to also.
Laurie - Nope. This week, I hope, when it's less crowded.
Did you see all the Basil Rathbone movies on TCM this weekend? They had a Sherlock marathon. Good stuff!
Yikes! I missed it! Wait, I don't get TCM. Still, Yikes!
